  1. Need Help choosing online BSN program

    777RN replied to Windynurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi Windynurse! I am in the same boat with a previous bachelor's. Selecting an RN-BSN program is daunting, isn't it? So many programs exist. At first, I was dead set on attending Western Governors...

  2. How old is too old?

    777RN replied to Kerrimundhenke's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Hello! For what it's worth, plenty of students were in their 40s and 50s, as well as a few in their 60s, in my nursing program. Of course, there were 20- and 30-somethings as well. In my opinion, age...

  3. No one wants to hire a entry level nurse in Nevada, what should I do?

    777RN replied to sheenmarie26's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Have you tried long-term care (LTC) or home care? While many experienced nurses say that home care is not a good idea for new grads, due to the autonomy and lack of resources when in the field, with a...

    777RN replied to singletonman1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi! I am also interested in this program. From my cursory research on it, it seems very, very expensive. Has anyone completed this program? Thanks in advance!

  5. changing careers to nursing - worth it?

    777RN replied to cochiro's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Well, perhaps you can later do both PT and chiropractic medicine, or combine the two. Is that a possibility? You could also later teach chiropractic medicine and/or PT. It seems that the combination...

    777RN posted a topic in Western Governors University

    Hello all! I'm considering entering the WGU RN-BSN program in Fall 2015. My questions are: How long does it take for the school, in general, to evaluate transcripts after all transcripts have been...

  8. changing careers to nursing - worth it?

    777RN replied to cochiro's topic in Colorado Nursing

    You're welcome! However, here's some more food for thought. In general, the salaries for PT are MUCH higher than registered nursing; i.e., they are more in line with mid-level practitioners, like NPs...

  9. changing careers to nursing - worth it?

    777RN replied to cochiro's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi! Have you considered physical therapy? It seems that a background in chiropractic medicine would be well suited to the pursuit of physical therapy. Nursing is a very, very tough job. I am a new...

  10. 1) ADN-BSN or 2) Work?

    777RN replied to moomoo134's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi moomoo134! I also think you should take the job, as jobs are much harder to come by in our present economy, especially for new grads. You are quite fortunate to have 3 potential job possibilities...

    777RN posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hello all! Has anyone been accepted to Wayne State's accelerated BSN program without having taken a single prerequisite there? It's my understanding that WSU gives preferential status to students who...

    777RN replied to AdamMSU's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I too live in Michigan. Are you in the Metro Detroit area? While I'm not surprised of your difficulty finding a position within a hospital (since everyone wants to work in one, especially in this...

    Hello everyone! I'm specifically looking at these three NCLEX-RN preparation tools and would like opinions as to which is best. All are reasonably priced and available online. Specifically, I like...

  20. Metro Detroit LTC/Subacute/SNF/ECF recommendations

    777RN posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hello everyone! I'm happy to say that I'm a new grad RN (just passed my boards last week). Unlike most of my peers from nursing school, I actually want to work in LTC/geriatrics. Would anyone please...

    777RN replied to kak85's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hello! I'm a new grad RN too on an Alzheimer's unit in a long-term care facility. I just finished my 30-day orientation, which I felt was reasonably adequate. I go on my own next week. I don't think...

  22. 3 days orientation & now this new grad is on her own. So nervous!

    777RN replied to Peppermint_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi KKahn! I don't want to sound discouraging but, in my opinion, three days is definitely not enough orientation time! I assume there will be other nurses in the building, though. So, I encourage...

    777RN replied to Renae101's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hello! Having to repeat the entirely of nursing school seems too stringent. (One time in nursing school is more than enough!) Would Texas let you retake the NCLEX-RN if you were to take a...

    777RN replied to toserve's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi! For what it's worth, I graduated from the OCC ADN program (not the bridge program) in April of this year. If I were you, I'd go with OCC for these reasons: It's much, much cheaper than Baker....
